Google just genuinely sucks as a company. It’s that simple. They are god awful at making products and putting themselves in the shoes of their users. They’re on the out IMO.

All they have left is replacing good search results with their AI output. Some of it is ok, but generally it is nothing unique like Google Search used to be.

Google is an advertising company. It's what they are. It's what they do. It's how they make money. When viewed through that lens their approach to products and services makes sense.
